ONE NIGHT IN PRISON.
Inspector Dunn Is Looking After the
Condition of the Convicts.
HE GOES INTO THEIR MIDST.
What He Has to Say of Some of the
81 B Noted Caiminals Down
s9b There.

a A new broom sweeps clean, and this
saying can be aptly used concerning
she new Prison Inspector Edwin Dunn,
of Eyota, appointed by Gov. McGill to
succeed Liberty Hall. The new official,
who qualified Tuesday and attended his
first meeting of the board at the peni-
tertiary, was seen yesterday at the
RYAN, where he had established tenn
pOfary headquarters. He is a eOmpactly
ISJlflt, determined looking official. in the
prime of life, and wears a sandy beard
aifi mustaehe. and his light blue eyes
indicate keenness and sagacity.
,T5fI wanted to familiariZe myself with
nay new Duties" he remarked, $50
spent Tuesday night in the peniten-
tiary among the prisoners in preference
to coming over to st. Paul to the hotel.
[ saw the convicts turned in for the
night and yesterday morning after
breakfast saw them turned out for their
daily work. AS far as | can judge. by
casual inspection, everything seemed to
be working admirably and smoothly at
the prison and my conversation with
the prisoners was very satisfactory.
During Tuesday EVENING" spent por-
ton of my time in the prison library,
which is in charge of the Younger
boys, and they impressed me as
intelligent, wide awake fellows.
OF course did not talk
to them about their offenses for which
they were in confinement, nor did they
breach the subject to me, but limited
themselves to ordinary topics. The agi-
tation concerning the management OF
the penitentiary is. in my Judgment, to
be deplored, for when the investigation
was ended by the commission. appointed
by the governor, their report should
have been awaited before further legal
proceedings were instituted. But | am
free to admit that | do not believe eX-
Warden Reed had any hand in the
movement directed against his success
sor, nor do think he was even consult
ed by Fayette Marsh.
1T shall be my mission to examine
very infinitely into the workings of the
penitentiary, for as one of the cOnvicts
said to ME the other night, If you are
the successor to Liberty Hall, you have
got to be hustler Anything evil that
in my judgment needs remedying will
be given the attention it deserves, and L
will endeav0r to justify the confidence
repOsed in me. Our board has nothing
to do with the pending investigation OF
Warden Stordock, and for myself, L do
not want to be mixed up in such a con-
trOversy at the outset of my career as a
prison official"

ton declaring it inexpedient to make
any declaration on the oleomargarine
legislation was adopted, and soon after
wards another resolution asking for the
removal of discrimination against the
products Of fat stock resulting from the
tax on imitation butter. A resolution
favOring the adjustment of the old

unanimously adopted just before ad-
jOurnment:
Whereas. 1t has come to the knowledge of
this convention that almost irreparable
financial embarrassment has resulted TO some
members of this association through the ac-
ton of the president in ordering the removal
of all cattle from the Cheyenne and Ara
apahoe Indian country under peculiarly
severe terms, and feeling that the situation
was not fully understood by him at the time
said order was made, therefore,
Resolved, That if, upon an investigation of
the matter, it be found as alleged by the
lessees that they were occupying the land in
good faith. and under at least las they sup
posed) color of law, and were not guilty of
any offense for which they should suffer, we
deem il but just that proper compensation
should be made by congress to them for their
losses
The place of the next meeting was left
to be decided on by the committee.

Averill accepted FitZ Hugh Lees chal-

fight sent bag of coffee, as the latter
requested, te his headquarters. 1t was
also stated that the saber was superior
as a weapon in hand to hand conflict
over either carbine or revolver, and this
had been demonstrated in the onset
made by the troopers of Lee against
Averill's command at Kelly's Ford, for
the rebels, when met with cold steel,

NOVEL AND ENTERTAINING.

COIored People Render a Pro-
gramme in the German Ian
guage.
A very novel entertainment was pre-
scented last evening at the Turner hail
by class of cOlored ladies and gentle
men under the direction of Prof. c. F.
Adams. The exercises, which consisted
of songs and recitations, were rendered
in the German language, and the re-
markable part of it is that, though the
class has been but six weeks under the
instruction of Prof. Adams, all showed
a remarkable proficiency in the use of
the language. The numbers by Miss
Lulu Griswold, r. w. Richard
son and Mrs. w. III. Clay are
particularly deserving of mention.
On request of Prof. Adams volunteer
criticisms were given by a number of
German gentlemen present as to the
merits of the exercises. They were all
highly complimentary of the class and
the Instructor. During the evening
Miss Ella B. Smith, ON behalf of the
class, presented Prof Adams with a
handsome gold medal as token of their
esteem. At the conclusion of the very
interesting programme, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large audi
enee present, a hop was given, Hill
ards orchestra furnishing the music.

DOES NOT LIVE HERE.
S. G.. Dickinson Says He is a Tenn
porary Resident of This State.

A little while ago an employe of S. G.
Dickinson, the proprietor of the glass
block, on st. Peter, Fourth and Fifth
streets, made affidavit to Judge Kelly
that he would be discharged if he were
compelled to serve on jury. The man
made affidavit to this effect and was eX-
cuSed under the law. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Dickinson came as talesman,
and was anxious to be excused. He and
Mr.. O'Brien accordingly talked the
thing over at late hour before Judge
Kelly. The court subjected him to
close inquiSitiOn. Mr. Dickinson in
formed his honor that he was not an
electOr of this state; that he lived in
Northampton, Mass, and voted there,
and that he had come up here to the
Northwest simply for the health of one
of his boys. He admitted that he had
been in Minnesota, part of the year, for
the past eight years. Judge Kelly
promptly informed him that the court
would Judge whether he was qualified
for Juror or not, so Mr.. Dickinson's
jurorship ponds Judge Kelly's decision.
MF. Dickinson's name was drawn in a
special venire last Tuesday.
